Poster exhibit on display
2nd-floor Lobby, Main Library
On July 24, 1969, Apollo 11 met President John F. Kennedy’s 1961 challenge of “landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth.” This poster exhibition explores what led the United States to accept this challenge and how the resulting 953,054-mile voyage to the Moon and back was accomplished just eight years after the program was authorized. Destination Moon examines the mission and recognizes the sacrifices and devotion of more than 400,000 people employed in NASA programs who worked through the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of the 20 missions from 1961 to 1969 before Apollo 11.
The Main Library has served the area since 1908. This location is home to the Leaning Lab, Sherman Room, Library of Things, administration offices, and First Call 211 (located across the street).
